The use of the Space set will result in a different look for your Eduard 1/48 scale Mustang Mk.IV cockpit.

FirstLook

 

Eduard has expanded their range of accessories for their 1:48 scale Mustang family.

This new SPACE set comprises 3D printed decals for the instrument panels and placards; plus photo-etched parts for the half-tone harness straps and other small details for the Eduard 1/48 scale Mustang Mk.IV.

 

 

I used SPACE sets earlier this year on my Eduard Fw 190 F-8 and Bronco MiG-15 and I was very pleased with the results.

 

 

The 3D printed decals look really good in real life - better than my larger-than-life studio photos!

I found that the 3D decals barely needed to be wet at all before they would slide - or sometimes fall - off the backing sheet.

In the end I did not dip the 3D Decals in water at all - I simply popped them off with the tip of a hobby knife.

 

 

These photos show the Fw 190 F-8 SPACE set in action on my Eduard 1/48 scale Wurger.

 

 

I used Gator’s Grip acrylic glue to secure the 3D printed decals to the plastic kit parts.

 

 

Detailed instructions are included.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The use of the Space set will result in a different look for your Eduard 1/48 scale Mustang Mk.IV cockpit.

If you have the Overtrees Edition of Eduard's 1/48 Spitfire XVI that does not include photo-etched parts, this SPACE set will be even more valuable.

There's certainly no lack of choice when detailing a cockpit these days!

Thanks to Eduard for the review samples
